PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by Thomas Atkinson at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the 25th November 1871. I, Thomas Atkinson, of Lower Turnings, Straffan, in the County of 5 Kildare, Esquire, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for “Improved Treatment op Cattle Suffering from Pleuro-pneumonia and Foot and Mouth Disease,” to be as follows:— * This Invention consists of a liniment composed of three parts of tincture of iodine and two parts of spirit of ammonia. 10 This liniment if applied externally to the throat and trachea or wind¬ pipe, and also on the sides of the animal over the seat of the lungs, stops the progress of the disease and effects a speedy cure.
